Lucie Billmann Livres

On July 7, 2005, Bill Mann's life changed forever. Emerging from the charred remains of a bombed Circle Line London Underground train carriage at Edgware Road, dazed, confused and lucky to be alive, Bill staggered on to the streets of a city in lockdown. The 7/7 terror attack claimed the lives of 52 people - six of them in carriage 2 at Edgware Road. Bill could have been one of them, having shared his morning commute with the bomb that rocked a city. In How to Keep Calm and Carry On, Bill takes us on a journey of self-discovery following 7/7 and the death of his beloved wife through cancer, explaining the techniques he used to rebuild and, ultimately, change his life.
